INTUITIVE EDITOR

Make Your Own Custom VR Scenarios in Minutes

If you can use basic computer skills like typing and drag-and-drop, you can create sophisticated custom nursing scenarios in virtual reality with UbiSim’s Intuitive Editor™. Because nursing expertise — not programming skill — is what matters most.

Make Every Scenario a Step Toward Mastery

UbiSim empowers educators to customize unlimited VR simulations that precisely match real-life nursing practice in any hospital, school, or community. Included at no extra charge, UbiSim’s industry-leading scenario editor gives you maximum flexibility without increasing costs or coordination challenges.

Customizable settings allow educators to precisely calibrate learning experiences in virtual reality with the Intuitive Editor. You can create learning objectives and define elements that make scenarios realistic — like patient characteristics, clinical presentation, dialogue, equipment, medications, room layout, patient records, provider orders, and more — all while maintaining INACSL standards.

“I created a whole scenario in less than an hour and a half, and I'm not a developer. I still have a flip phone. But it was so easy!”

“We could modify or tweak things to match up exactly to our curriculum, but our faculty could be off and running way sooner, saving time and resources."

“UbiSim was easier than programming simulations for our manikin-based simulators. It's kind of like a menu. You go through and pick what you want in the room.”

Meet Nurses Where They Are

Scenarios can be quickly tailored for learners across experience levels, whether pre-licensure nursing students or practicing nurses. For beginners, you can keep symptoms simple, limit communication demands, and provide only essential clinical data.

For advanced learners, you can add subtle or overlapping symptoms, increase communication load (like adding family members or phone calls), and include evolving or complex clinical information.

Reinforce Critical Thinking with Custom VR Scenarios

Educators can design every detail, whether a lab result, an assessment finding, a patient dialog, or new orders, to guide learners toward a specific clinical decision. Unfolding medical orders can be set to appear dynamically as a scenario progresses. This mirrors real clinical practice, where new orders are issued as a patient’s condition changes and learners must reassess and respond as new information appears.

Simplify Custom Simulation

UbiSim’s Intuitive Editor empowers nurse educators to build or modify immersive simulations with just a few clicks. No coding is needed. Drag and drop elements such as lab results, X-rays, EKGs, and even conversational dialogue into the scenario.

Educators have full creative control, from editing prebrief and debrief content to customizing the patient’s demographics, medications, and equipment. This means that scenarios can truly reflect nurses’ scope of practice in the real world.

Practice Therapeutic Communication

Educators can challenge nurse learners by including nuanced social dynamics such as abuse disclosures or end-of-life conversations. Patient characteristics, including age, race, gender identity, and language, can be adjusted to better represent real-world populations and focus on the social determinants of health.

Educators can choose whether a patient is alone or accompanied by a family member, adding complexity to practicing therapeutic communication in a psychologically safe and supportive simulation experience.
